The Presidents veto of the Dependent
Pension Bill was sustained by the House of
Representatives on Thursday last-the vote
being 175 years for the bill to 125 nays-it
requiring two-thirds to override the veto.
The bill if passed would have taken seven
ty-fve millions of dollars annually out of
the peoples pockets to give a pension to
every ex-Union soldier who can not earn
the sort of living he would like-in other
words, to every man who was in the FEEDER
al army and is yet alive. 1t would give
pension to every drunkard and shiftless
loafer who was in the army for ninety days,
even if his disability is due solely to his
own vices. 1t would give a premium to
mendicancy and Incidence, for nothing
convinces man that he is unable to work
like showing MIN that he can live without
it. 1t would have increased the pension
burthen now borne by the people of the
whole country for the benefit of those of
only half of it to one hundred and fifty
millions year. Representatives Wilson,
Gibson aud Snyder of this State voted to
sustain the veto. Representative Golf yo-
ted to pass the bill.
